About our program

Ø  Flag level 

This level consist of mainly 2nd,3rd,4th graders, although the last few years we have seen an increase in younger children expressing their interest in the sport. I would like to extend the offer to the younger children in 1st grade to come out and give it a shot if they are interested. We typically have enough on the team to split things up and have two teams (younger & older).   We do this because we want the children to have the best possible experience, to grow and learn with children that are their own age and size.  Even though it is called flag football, there is still a fair amount of contact throughout practice and games.  Safety is always first and we will do whatever we can to keep everyone as safe as possible.

Ø  5th & 6th tackle 

This level consist of 5th & 6th graders. This is the first year of tackle. At this level the coaching staff expect the children to become much more focused and practices are much more disciplined. There are still many restrictions at this level, but everyone of them is to keep the kids as safe as possible. The entire league spends a lot of time focusing on safety during the season as well as off season. As coaches we must keep the children focused on the fundamentals and proper techniques. Although the practices may seem very disciplined, it is for the safety of your children. I can guarantee you that your children will have plenty of fun and will continue to talk about football even after the season is over. 

  Ø  7th & 8th tackle 

This level consist of 7th & 8th graders. This program is set up the same way as the 5th, 6th season, but with less restrictions allowing the children to have the full football experience. Again, there are still restrictions in place to ensure that safety is always first. At this level the game play increases and everything is much faster. We still focus a lot on the fundamentals and help prepare all of the children towards a happy and successful  high school football experience.  

   
The coaching staffs wish to thank you all for your positive support and  good sportsmanship on the sidelines.  Please send your game pictures to Julie Lusignan at broncos.football@hotmail.com
